MIAMI - Dwyane Wade returned to practice Friday, rested and restless. Nursing a sore right knee, Wade took part in Miami Heat drills for the first time since their series-clinching first-round victory Sunday at Milwaukee. Like his teammates, Wade is eager to start the second round Monday where the Heat will meet the Chicago Bulls who beat the Brooklyn Nets in a Game 7 on Saturday night. The long break has been boring but beneficial for Miami, affording Wade a chance to mend. He has been dealing with bone bruises around his right kneecap for more than a month. "Its good to get back on the court," he said. "Youve just got to play through it. At this time of the year, everyone has something theyre dealing with. No matter what Im dealing with, knock on wood and thank God Im just able to still be on the court and play." Wade described his status as day to day but said hes in a positive frame of mind about it. While his teammates consider their enforced idleness a drag, they know the timings good where Wades concerned. "That has been the most important thing," Chris Bosh said. "To get him back as close to 100 per cent as possible is ideal for us, because well need him a lot as we advance. Hes going to be stronger than ever when he comes back. I expect us to hit the ground running when Monday comes." Thats hardly a given, considering the long layoff. The Bulls who closed out the Nets in their third opportunity on Saturday will arrive in Miami battle-tested and on an emotional high. The Heat, by contrast, could be rusty after their bye week. "Thats the challenge we have to fight through," Wade said. "This team has to find its challenges, and I think this is a good challenge." Miami one of the older teams in the NBA, so Wade has not been the only Heat player to benefit from time off. But LeBron James said watching other playoffs series was growing old. "Im enjoying them as a fan, but we want to get back at it," James said. "We feel like were not even a part of it at this point. "Its really weird having to be ready to play but not playing, and not knowing who youre playing, and watching other games," Bosh said. "Its like were in the playoffs, but were not." Miamis eagerness to move on is understandable. The reigning NBA champions have won their past 12 games, and 41 of their past 43. They swept Milwaukee in the opening round even with Wade at less than his best. He had the worst playoff shooting performance of his career in Game 3, going 1 for 12, but still played 36 minutes and had 11 assists, nine rebounds and five steals. Then he sat out Game 4, and without him the Heat won by 11 points on the road. Since then, Wade has undergone extensive rehabilitation and treatment. Miami needs 12 more wins for a second successive NBA title, and Wade knows his high-wire style of play leaves his knee susceptible to a setback. "When youre dealing with something, after games you always hoping it doesnt get any worse or more sore," he said. "With an injury, you dont know from day to day. Its what Im dealing with. You try to do what you can in between time. When game time comes, hopefully you can get out there and be productive." Swingman David Robinson Jersey . It just didnt show when he hit the ice.

Danny Green Jersey .Y. -- Canadas Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse have another World Cup gold medal after winning the two-women bobsled race on Saturday in Lake Placid, N.MOSCOW -- Russias counter-terrorism agency says its studying a video posted by an Islamic militant group that asserted responsibility for suicide bombings that killed 34 people last month and is threatening to strike the Winter Olympics in Sochi. Security experts say the Russians are right in taking the threat seriously. The video was posted online Sunday by a militant group in Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim republic in Russias volatile North Caucasus. The Olympic host city of Sochi lies only 500 kilometres (300 miles) west of Dagestan. Two Russian-speaking men featured in the video are identified as members of Ansar al-Sunna, the name of a Jihadist group operating in Iraq. It was unclear whether the men in the video had received funding or training from that group or only adopted its name. There was no confirmation the two men were the suicide bombers who struck the southern Russian city of Volgograd last month as the video claims. Scores of people were also injured by the bombings of a train station and a bus. Russias National Anti-Terrorism Committee said Monday it was studying the video and would have no immediate comment. The video couldnt be viewed in Russia, where Internet providers cut access to it under a law that bans the "dissemination of extremist materials." It was released by the Vilayat Dagestan, one of the units that make up the so-called Caucasus Emirate, an umbrella group for the rebels seeking to establish an independent Islamic state in the North Caucasus. Doku Umarov, a Chechen warlord who leads the Emirate, had ordered a halt to attacks on civilian targets in 2012. But he rescinded that order in July, urging his followers to strike the Sochi Olympics, which he denounced as "satanic dances on the bones of our ancestors." The games run from Feb. 7-23. The Kremlin-backed leader of Chechnya claimed last week that Umarov was dead, but the claim couldnt be verified. The Vilayat Dagestan statement said the Volgograd attacks were carried out in part because of Umarovs order, but it didnt specifically say he had ordered them. Dagestan has become the centre of an Islamic insurgency that has engulfed Russias North Caucasus after twoo separatist wars in Chechnya.dddddddddddd Militants seeking to create an independent state governed by Islamic Shariah law in the Caucasus launch daily attacks on police and other authorities there. One of the two ethnic Chechen brothers accused of staging the Boston Marathon bombings spent six months in Dagestan in 2012. Andrei Soldatov, an independent Moscow-based security analyst, said the video threat need to be taken seriously. "They have capabilities to strike beyond the North Caucasus, which they demonstrated in Volgograd," he said. "Its extremely difficult to stop a lone wolf suicide bombing attack." Georgy Mirsky, a respected Russian expert on the Middle East, said the video reflected the increasingly close ties between Jihadists in the Caucasus and elsewhere. Russias war against Caucasus militants has made it an enemy on par with the United States and Israel for militant Islamic groups in the Middle East, he wrote on his blog. Russia has responded to the Islamic threat by introducing some of the most sweeping security measures ever seen at an international sports event. Some 100,000 police, army and other security forces have been deployed, according to analysts, and tight restrictions have been placed on access to the Sochi area. Anyone attending the Winter Olympics has to buy a ticket online from the organizers and obtain a spectator pass that requires providing passport details. Authorities have already barred access to all cars registered outside of Sochi and Russian police have gone house-to-house methodically screening all city residents. Soldatov argued, however, that Russias massive security presence at the Olympics could also have an adverse effect. "When you put so many troops on the ground, you might get some problems with the co-ordination of all these people," he said. Soldatov noted that the ominous threat of a "present" for the visitors to the Games contained in the video is loosely phrased and could herald an attack outside tightly guarded Olympic facilities. "They never tried to specify the place where they might strike, thats why everybody should be concerned," he said.
